The next N64 game that will be available on Switch Online is Mario Party 3

On the upcoming Friday, October 27th, the gaming service will introduce the third installment in the Mario Party series.

Despite this series typically being associated with multiplayer parties, Mario Party 3 distinguishes itself by becoming the first game in the series to feature a genuine single-player storyline, rather than a linear mode where mini-games follow one another.

The game will offer a total of 71 mini-games, and notably, it will introduce compact Dual Boards designed specifically for two-player gameplay.

With the release of Mario Party 3 on Switch Online in Western countries, the overall number of Nintendo 64 games in the Switch Online library will reach 26, following the additions of Excitebike 64 and Pokémon Stadium 2 in August.

After the addition of Mario Party 3 to the list, the complete set of Nintendo 64 games on this service will look as follows:

The expanded access level of Switch Online was launched in October 2021, alongside the Nintendo 64 game library. Initially, this raised dissatisfaction among some players due to emulation issues and the lack of features like button customization.

However, thanks to regular service updates, the emulation has significantly improved, and most of the major issues have been resolved.

Nintendo has also confirmed that 1080° Snowboarding and Harvest Moon 64 will be added to the Nintendo 64 library in the future.
